Try running the game in Windowed mode. I've always fun it in Windowed and it has never crashed for me, I have an RX 6800 OC edition GPU.

few bluescreens later i tried windowed, 30 fps, medium graphics with fsr off, i only got about 5 minutes of gameplay before crashing

Try the following as well

Adrenaline Control Panel -> Performance [Tab] -> MANUAL TUNING ENABLED -> Tuning [Tab] -> GPU Tuning [x] Enabled -> Advanced Control [x] Enabled

There should be a "Max Frequency (MHz)" slider with a default value.

Set the slider and subtract 100 MHz from that value (for example, on my 7900XT - it's 2858 MHz) so I set it to 2758 Mhz (do note this is different from one card family to the next). Apply the settings and try to play the game.

Background: On my Radeon 7800XT rig, I have no problems at all playing the game and don't get crash to desktop issues (didn't have to do this fix). Totally different issue on my Radeon 7900XT rig - crash to Desktop galore when playing the game. No problem at all though when I limit the "Max Frequency" and drop it by 100 MHz or so. No more crashes to desktop after that and was able to play the campaign.

Pretty sure it's not the game but a problem with Power Management on AMD cards when it goes from heavy to low loads causing a driver hang. There shouldn't be a reason why limiting the Max Frequency a bit fixes the issue (as that's not game related even though I haven't ran into this problem in any other game) so I pretty much blame AMD for this. Maybe a bit overzealous with the max clocks on lower load.

i successfully completed 2 operations no crashes, thanks for the fix

Run the game in Administrator mode

Now, the question is - why does limiting the "Maximum Frequency (MHz)" fix it for a lot of people (even just barely, like -100 MHz)? Silicon quality on the GPU not up to snuff for AMD's own default clockspeed boost behavior? Or just bad overzealous BOOST behavior implemented in video cards FIRMWARE or the DRIVER.

Either way, it's not the games FAULT and my opinion is that "Focus Entertainment" is getting a lot of blame for these crashes. A lot of people not giving the game a fair chance and refunding it in STEAM because it keeps crashing (specially for an AMD sponsored game).

Hopefully they read this and can work with AMD to figure out WTF is going on and shift the blame. AMD might need to release a firmware FIX for the cards (bad boost behavior), or tone down the MAX BOOST behavior a bit by -50 or -100 MHz (which doesn't really affect frame rates / performance in sustained graphical load).

Note - the same issue happens on my 7900XT as well (had to -100 MHz the max frequency).

Many thx, this tip makes my game fixed !!

ok so i came back to space marine the next day and now ive started to crash again, i've done the whole -100 mhz thing for the driver in tuning, and ive kept the same settings as before, windowed, 30fps, medium settings and no fsr, i have no idea whats going on anymore
